Who will Trump blame for his electoral wipeout?
After a night of electoral disaster, Trump has finally appeared before the world media to offer up his thoughts on...you’ve guessed it...the ballroom. Is he just going to pretend last night didn’t happen? Who’s going to get the blame in his inner circle? And will democrats resist the urge to sound punchably smug after their blue wave?The News Agents USA is Global production.The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

The Democrats destroy Trump - what happens now? - The News Agents
As we come off air at 1am the Democrats have just taken the house and the senate - flipping seats in the unlikeliest of places - Texas, South Carolina, Iowa and even Maine.It’s an absolute blue blow out, and a repudiation of Trump which even he is finding hard to ignore. So what will happen to MAGA now - and to Trump himself?Lewis is with the crowds celebrating in Texas, whilst Jon and Emily are watching the door of the White House slowly open and close in the darkness.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Trump's election temper tantrum - does he know he's toast?
The Alaska Senate race shouldn't even be competitive. The Democrats haven't won there in almost two decades. But as a sign of how badly the Republicans are doing, Donald Trump has ordered his department of justice to pre-emptively sue the State in an attempt to block the certification of the Dem frontrunner Mary Peltola. The President is furious that Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan is having to share the ballot paper with another Dan Sullivan - an independent who critics are accusing of being a wrecking candidate trying to assist the Dems. Is this early temper tantrum a sign of just how bad the midterms could be for Trump and his party? And is it a worrying sign of a President looking increasingly unlikely to accept defeat?Later - why the Dems are talking about Epstein, and why JD Vance's decision to back Vivek Ramaswamy's deplorable ad could come back to haunt him.With Miles Taylor.The News Agents USA is a Global Production.The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Is this the most depraved political ad ever made?
Has Vivek Ramaswamy, close friend of JD Vance, just plunged to an all time low in American politics? He is scrapping in second place in the race to become Ohio's next governor, with rival Amy Acton, a former physician, primed to become the first Democrat in that role in two decades.And the attack ad he has just released has been labelled by critics as "disgusting", "outrageous" and the "scummiest thing I've seen in politics". In it, Acton's estranged mother labels her daughter a liar with a "serious problem" who will only make the state worse. What the ad fails to mention is that Acton and her brother abused by their stepfather, and she was taken out of their care at the age of 12. How on earth did this advert ever make it to air? And can we be sure that it will backfire?Later, a sneak preview of Miles Taylor's new documentary 'Corruptionland' - he takes us into the kind of sums that the Trump family has made since they’ve been back in power.The News Agents USA is a Global Production.The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Will Trump's new press secretary last the week?
Sean Spicer, Anthony Scaramucci, Karoline Leavitt. Donald Trump's history of press secretaries is enough to tell you that it's a job like no other - with unrelenting scrutiny from the press and the President. Enter Katie Zacharia, Trump's new pick for the job. She made her debut yesterday, and despite fielding only three questions, has become something of a Meme for her shaky first outing - fielding only three questions, failing to answer basics, and struggling to speak without constant reference to her notes. And that's before you even dig into her CV: is she actually a lawyer and why was she working in China? President Trump likes to project strength, but the press reviews of his new hire suggest she is fast becoming a major point of weakness for his administration. How long can she last?Later, America's ambassador to Greece has been ousted by Trump after she was using her influence inside Trump world to get a donor to pay off her credit card bills. Kimberley Guilfoyle was once engaged to the President's son - so why did he choose to wield the knife?With Miles Taylor.The News Agents USA is a Global Production.The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Why is Trump encouraging Iran to bomb San Diego?
Things don’t look as rosy as they might in MAGAland. Texas Republican Ken Paxton was caught on tape blaming Trump’s Iran war for his own tough race. To be fair, Paxton may find he can sink this one on his own. But the picture is the same in many of the deep Red states where Trump is hindering not helping. Last night things came to a new peak with his suggestion that Iran should maybe bomb California. Will any of this tank MAGA chances in the mid terms?Later, Miles Taylor joins us to discuss why the government has shut down the very bio security department keeping America safe from weapons of mass destruction.The News Agents USA is a Global Production.The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Was this the most embarrassing Senate hearing ever?
The Republicans cannot get over Jack Smith. The former special counsel who led two criminal cases against Donald Trump faced a barrage of attacks from GOP senators on the Judiciary Committee: "You make me want to throw up in my mouth"; "The most egregious abuse of power in the history of the Department of Justice"; "You are a total dirtbag."But when they thought they had a smoking gun, the interrogation backfired spectacularly. Senator Eric Schmitt confused two basketball teams and alleged that Smith was at a game he never attended, in a state he wasn't in. Schmitt was trying to insinuate that Smith was secretly coordinating against Trump with a prosecutor in Georgia, but his "gotcha" humiliated only himself. Why is the GOP still so set on rehashing old, debunked allegations of political persecution against Donald Trump?Later, gang rape allegations at Cornell University have shocked America and led Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to condemn a "culture of rape, sexual assault, and pedophilia" in elite institutions. Will it change anything?The News Agents USA is a Global Production.The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Are Republican candidates sick of Trump?
Has the GOP woken up to the drag anchor that Donald Trump is on their electoral fortunes? There are signs that MAGA is not the magnet it once was. A steady stream of Republicans have come out in recent days to criticise the President and his administration - on Iran, on beef prices, on Trump Jr's wedding, on ICE. The list goes on. It seemed for so long like diehard loyalty to Trump was an essential ingredient for the American Right - so why are so many hoping to enter Congress scrubbing mentions of him from their websites?Later, the curious case of Susan Collins and an FBI investigation that Trump shut down. The Dems say that "the jig is up" for the Maine veteran. Could it swing the Senate?The News Agents USA is a Global Production.The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/
